It's wrong to punch random strangers in the face?  THAT'S A SATURDAY NIGHT WHERE I COME FROM!!!!

Did the person ask to be punched in the face? Did you ask him if I can punch you in the face and he said yes? All your analogies are incorrect. A trade is between 2 adults who come to a mutual agreement. The key word is mutual where both people agree to the act, all analogies you come up with is where 1 person makes a decision and the other person has no choice, or you add in children in which children are not by rules suppose to be playing this game.

What I also find funny is that plague has convinced himself that we don't want people bending us over in trade.   I don't care.   If you can stick it to me, you should.  I should know what I'm doing.    I think we're talking about people who just don't know any better.    Like deathinahole.   But, of course, we had great fun mocking his dumbassery in MG.

Like I said, I have been the newcomer in games. I don't expect to be babied or pampered. I am in my second season of FC  Dynasty. I made my first season mistakes that will effect me for the next few seasons. I am not going to cry about it, whine about it, or abandon the team because of my poor mistakes. I learn from my mistakes and attempt to approve on those mistakes. I can't believe how pu##ified people have become in games. Do you guys also believe little league should not keep score in games because it will make the losers feel bad about themselves?

And there we have it.  That's why you don't get "it".

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something.

N00bs can be compared to anyone who just doesn't understand.   They don't have to be children but they don't understand.  You're fine with offering them a shiny stack of  quarters for a single crumpled up, worn hundred dollar bill.    

What you don't get is there is a difference between real life and a game

That I can also do.

It is ironic that somebody as manly and cool as plague plays online fantasy games that are normally reserved for huge nerds.

All games where you sit down by yourself on a computer console is nerdy. It's what we choose to do. Someone like you is always trying to elevate what you do by putting others down for what they do. You are overly judgemental, you think people should abide by your standards, and when people do not do what you want, you brand the act they do with a negative label and demonize the person for performing the act. It's one thing when you have opinions and standards and you hold yourself to those standards, but when you push your will on others by making them feel bad then you have moved into a narcissistic personality.

That's cute, you seem to think that you have developed a social expertise from the world of Everquest.

I am not a judgmental person- truthfully, I couldn't give two sh*ts what crap you do in your spare time.  I just think you're a whiny c*nt and it is therefore fun to bash you, because a) you deserve a lil bashing and b) it's mildly amusing to me.  Newsflash: people don't solely mock others in social interactions to make themselves feel better.  It happens sometimes, but that explanation is tailor made for social bottom feeders who also happen to be whiny c*nts.  "WAAHHHH!!! THEY ATTACK ME BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM, POOR ME!"

Actually playing this game is part of your life.   So, and maybe this is a crazy thought, wouldn't that be considered "real life"?

Even if you disagree with that premise, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something even if it's just a game.

Yes, its part of your life. I treat people differently in real life than I do in a game. That is where I differentiate between real life and a game.

Whose the one whining? You seem to have a warped definition of whining. I say let people play the game within the rules, but you seem to be whining because you don't like the rules, and Deanods rules are what people should abide by and anyone that does not abide by Deanods rules will be mocked, because I am Deanod you should be judged by me, abide by me..

So, even though they're plunking down real money and spending real time, it's OK to take advantage of them because they don't know any better?  That's your defense?   And we're supposed to believe you wouldn't do the same in real life?  

Is that because you're afraid someone would beat the living dogshit out of you if you ripped them off and they realized it?

I don't care if you believe it or not. If I am playing a game in real life I have no problem ripping them off within the game.. I am actually bigger than most people, I don't really have a fear of getting my *** kicked, plus *** kicking generally went out with High School.

Don't get lost in details over who's whining over what- the fact that you are a whiny person shines through your words, even in text.  You probably don't even realize it, but it's part of your vibe.

Please.  You would cry like a ***** if you were legitimately confronted with a real life asskicking.

What's the difference in ruining a game for someone, one that cost them $25, on the internet or selling someone a broken watch for $25 in real life? 

I'll tell you the difference.   You'd have to make actual contact with someone to sell them a ****** watch.

That goes along with your judgmental narcissistic personality. You have no idea what I am like in real life.
